Dave White’s Blank Canvas and Kiana Jimenez’s poem Blank Canvas explore emptiness not as loss, but as potential. What seems void is alive with possibility, waiting for creation to emerge.

Dave White’s Black Rose and Kiana Jimenez’s Black Rose intertwine as a reflection on individuality, solitude, and resilience. The illustration’s striking contrasts mirror the poem’s story of a feared yet beautiful rose, unwanted until it is finally embraced. Together, they remind us of the quiet power of recognition and care.

A solitary black rose stands alone in a garden of colors, beautiful yet feared, unwanted yet unbroken. Its dark petals whisper of isolation, strength, and the longing for connection. When someone finally dares to embrace its uniqueness, two lonely souls find solace in each other’s presence.
